How enable AGP support in the kernel?

Moro · 11-08-03, 06:44 AM

Hi guys,
I’m new in the Linux world, I installed Linux redhat 9 (kernel 2.4.20-8) in dual boot on my PC (Intel Pentium 4, 2GHz, nVidia GeForce 4 MX 440, AGP 4x). All run ok, but I think that the Accelerated Graphics Port doesn’t run under linux.
Could anyone can tell me how can I enable AGP support in the kernel?
Thank you for you help,
Moro.

Maybe you figured it out already ... else ...

The opensource drivers don't have hardware 3d-acceleration..for that you have to install the binary drivers from nvidia. You can download them from the nvidia-website(driver-section).
